Teen allegedly found with painkillers, $2,460

Metro police have arrested a 19-year-old Savannah woman after they allegedly found dozens of prescription painkillers and $2,460 in the console of a car she was driving.

Brittany Marie Hermann has been charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute. She also has been charged with criminal trespass.

Hermann was arrested June 6 in front of an abandoned home near her house in the 2200 block of Bacon Park Drive. Police were in the area because they suspected her husband, Paul Hermann III, of stealing $27,000 during a burglary at a trailer park at Whitfield Avenue and Shipyard Road and of stealing a .22 caliber pistol from his neighbor.

Police believed Paul Hermann III was hiding in the abandoned house. Police say when they approached Brittany Hermann, parked in front of the abandoned house, she gave conflicting stories.

Officers say Brittany Hermann gave them permission to search her car, where they allegedly found 23 Hydrocodone pills, 14 Oxycodone pills, and the cash. Hydrocodone and Oxycodone are semi-sythetic opiates prescribed to dull pain.

Police also found a $13,500 receipt for the car Brittany Hermann was driving — a Mitsubishi Eclipse that was paid for in cash — in the console.
